Hiring and Workforce Resources for Employers
A clear hiring request starts with the work, schedule, location, compensation, required skills, and application process. Detroit at Work and Michigan workforce agencies can connect employers to current recruiting and training services. Rebuild Detroit organizes those channels but does not screen applicants or act as the employer of record.

01
Define the role before choosing a recruiting channel
Write the essential duties, work location, schedule, compensation structure, required qualifications, and application steps before promoting the opening. Separate qualifications needed on the first day from skills that can be taught. Clear requirements help workforce staff and applicants understand whether the role is a realistic match.
Review the posting for accuracy, accessibility, and lawful employment language. Identify who receives applications, how personal data is protected, and when the posting will be closed. Rebuild Detroit does not review a job for legal compliance, so employers remain responsible for their own policies and applicable requirements.
02
Use official employer-service channels
Detroit at Work describes employer support that can include talent strategy, candidate screening, interview facilities, and connections to training partners. Its current employer contact channel is the right place to ask which services fit the hiring need. Do not assume every service is available for every employer or timetable.
Michigan LEO business resources connect employers with Michigan Works agencies, labor-market information, recruitment assistance, internships, on-the-job training, and apprenticeship resources. The local agency determines its process and available support. Ask for the responsible contact and preserve written confirmation of the next step.
03
Choose training only after the skill gap is clear
Training can support new hires or existing workers when the employer can describe the occupation, tasks, skills, and expected result. Compare the provider, credential, schedule, total cost, and worker obligations. A training provider appearing on a state list does not guarantee funding or a specific employment outcome.
Registered Apprenticeship is an employer-driven pathway with paid work, structured on-the-job learning, related instruction, progressive wages, and a recognized credential. Employers considering that model should use the official apprenticeship and workforce channels to understand sponsor, registration, training, and recordkeeping responsibilities.
04
Track the hiring process without overclaiming results
Record where the job was posted, how applicants were referred, which criteria were applied, and when candidates were notified. Remove or update stale openings promptly. A referral, application, interview, or acceptance is not the same as a completed start, retained employee, or successful training outcome.
Use the employer source cards below for current services and contacts. Rebuild Detroit does not promise applicant volume, validate candidate qualifications, conduct background checks, make hiring decisions, or administer public incentives. Employers must verify any funding, tax, wage, safety, and compliance information with the responsible authority.
